Panic Attacks Support Group

I just wanted to come by and get a pat in the back or something... I'm pretty upset because my parents, who came to visit from Argentina, are leaving today.

I live in NY and they came for a month because of my graduation. Last time they were here was 7 years ago so once they leave, I don't know how long it'll be until they come back.

It's not that bad since I travel there often, but my parents seem to be my kryptonite and I always panic around them and get deeply depressed when I have to part from them.

I also have to pretend to be ok because if they see me upset they get upset too...

Their plane is leaving at 3 pm and then I have to come back to an empty apartment that I'm very much not looking forward to... so I may be back here again later.

Thank you for listening

Hugs to you. I am so sorry you have to deal with this.

As I lay here crying I remind myself that I'm lucky to have parents, or even parents that love me. I should be thankful and happy but having them so far away hurts a lot. Not being able to go grocery shopping with them, or watching a movie together. Some people don't know how lucky they are...

I know it's my fault for moving so far away, but I'm from a small town and there's nothing but my parents there...

In life we're always giving something up, it's just a hard concept to grasp.

Thanks again. It really helps to hear from someone

HUGS!
